             Birds-of-a-Feather Sessions (BoFs)
             Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
             evenings
             Lead or attend a BoF! Meet with your peers!
             Present new work! Don't miss these special
             activities designed to maximize the value of your
             time at the conference. The always-popular
             evening Birds-of-a-Feather sessions are very
             informal gatherings of persons interested in a
             particular topic. BoFs may be scheduled during
             the conference at the registration desk, or in
             advance by contacting the USENIX Conference
             Department, either by phone (1.510.528.8649) or
             by email (conference at usenix.org). BoFs are
             open to all attendees. Topics will be announced at
             the conference.

(Tuesday is Aug. 14)
